At Cornell, all items printed before 1865 1876 must be provided with secure, climate-controlled storage and monitored reading room access. In addition, materials printed after 1850 and before through 1930 should be evaluated for significant artifactual, historical, or market characteristics and assigned to a location best suited to ensure long term preservation and use. All items 1864 1875 and earlier are processed automatically for Rare Annex (with needed record updates). Items from 18651876-1869 1930 are reviewed by RMC staff for Rare Annex; any items not selected for Rare Annex will be processed for the Circulating Annex. Items from 1870-1930 are reviewed by RMC staff for Rare Annex; it not selected for Rare Annex, then the appropriate Olin/Uris selector reviews for central campus or circulating Annex. Full criteria for Cornell University Library's transfer guidelines are available on the staff web at Policy on Transfer of General Collection Material to Special Collections.  (<--This link is not working/old Collection Dev. staffweb), unless the selector for that collection feels it's necessary to keep it in a central campus location.

B. Processing Locations

...

1. Remove the Holdings and Item notes referring to sending/returning the book from Conservation.
2. If the book is now in an MM case:
   • Add the case to the Number of pieces field in the Item record.
   • If the book has a barcode, create a duplicate barcode and attach it to the MM case. 
     • If the book does NOT have a barcode, follow the instructions in step 6 of the "Editing the FOLIO" records section above, and then create a duplicate barcode for the outside of the MM case.

If "Slavery" or "Nathan" appears as part of the call number written inside the book, the location should be changed to Rare (in pencil) in the book.
